This coloring page is about three friends who find themselves in an unexpected storm while travelling down a path in the forest. To take shelter from it, they go to a nearby house but are refused entry until they can answer the owner's riddle. The first friend, a determined chicken, correctly guesses that the owner is a giant, and is allowed entry. The second friend, a witty duck, then correctly guesses that the owner is a witch and is allowed entry. Finally, the third friend, a brave mouse, correctly guesses that the owner is actually a cat and is allowed inside. Unfortunately, the mouse is then unsuspectingly eaten by the cat!
For this scene, the image should focus on vibrancy and chill. To create a chilly atmosphere, a subdued color palette highlighting blues, purples, and silvers could be used. The stormy sky should be depicted by a watercolor of light blues, purples, grays, and whites. The house should contrast the sky and be painted in warm colors like oranges, browns and mustards. The three friends should be defined by patterns and textures. The chicken should be depicted by soft pastels and warm colors. The duck should be highlighted with bright colors like yellows and greens, while the mouse should stand out in the darkness with cool colors like blues and purples.
